This is going to be a little bit of a rant. It probably doesn’t apply to most if you since it’s more of a core game issue.

Hacking in Pokémon is when you use an external device to get whatever Pokémon’s you want. Already this is an issue but it gets worse. A large portion of the Pokémon community ACCEPT hacking as normal and ok. Their mind set is “hacking is ok because my Pokémon know legal moves and it’s possible to get this Pokémon in normal gameplay”. Now loads of players hack their Pokémon’s and no one even blinks. Its actually really sad.

While that is true, the odds of getting a 6iv shiny salamence with its hidden ability in a beast ball (just for example) is so ridiculously rare that even seeing one is 99.99% hacked without a question.

Yet actual official Pokémon judges turn a blind eye to this. They simply are lazy and don’t care. Simply they are scared to expose big competitive players because it ruins their image.

The biggest arguement that hackers bring up is “it’s ok because I have no time to breed my Pokémon properly. They perform the same as nonhacked Pokémon anyway.” That is plain lazy and hopeless. Breeding is easier than ever in the core games. SOS chaining, destiny knot, everstone, iv judge, hyper training, poke pelago is right there.

Not only that, hacker should get 6iv pokemon instantly. Breeders can only wish for 6iv. That means 9 times out of 10 breeders settle for 5iv pokemon or even 4 iv pokemon. Some cases might even be 3iv. In battle there is a difference. While legit players are breeding their Pokémon to a usable level, hackers are already practicing.

This is why not many people even want to play Pokémon competitively anymore

I’m not sure how big hacking is in PBB but I sure hope it’s easier. Thank you for reading this for if you have. I would like to spread this around and maybe one day hacking will cease to exist.

Now I’ll ask you a question. What’s your opinion on hacking?
